I too have an Eyc with daytime running mode and automatic senso-whatever switching. The Eyc does not respond to/get confused by oncoming vehicle lights, but it does flash the daytime high-beam lights when going under Chicago's brighter streetlamps. I am not fond of that. The flashing distracts me quite a bit. The rapid change and loss of a clear beam pattern on the road somehow looks like the lights of a rapidly overtaking vehicle behind me --- at least to some deep, lizard-like part of my brain.
Regarding the flashing at low speed: That is just a fundamental fact of bicycle lighting life. Both hub and sidewall generators are magnetos, which generate alternating current, the frequency being dependent of the rotational frequency of the wheel. So, LED lights (and to some extent even incandescents) are always flashing as they light up on only half of the time or so. To the OP: I would be very interested to hear about the performance of the stand light on the IQ-X. The stand light on the Eyc has been a real disappointment for me in that it is just a little too dim to seem noticeable in town. I know it cannot be anywhere near as bright as when riding, but the Eyc stand light seems much, much weaker than my taillight's stand light (a Toplite Line), even more so than the efficiency penalty of white LEDs.
